IMPRQVED PITCER FOR COOLING- LIQUIDS.

I'he Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part 'of the same.

To all whom it may conce/ru:

Be it known that-I, HERMAN PrETsCH, of New York city, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Pitchers for Cooling Liquids; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, which -willenable others skilled in the art to make and use the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification.

The ligure is a vertical section of my improved pitcher.

My invention has for its object to improve the construction of my'improved cooler, patented December 22, 1868, and numbered -85,125, so'asto adapt it for use as a pitcher; and

It consists in the constructionr Aand combination of various parts,as hereinafter more fully described.

Apand B are .the outer walls of the pitcher, the space between which is filled with powdered charcoal, or some other suitable non-conducting material.

lo the lower edges of the walls A B, is attached the. bottom O.

l) is the inner wall, the upper edges of which are connected to the walls A B by the ring-plate E, which forms a portion of the top'of the pitcher, and to the lower edges of which is attached the bottom F.

To the 'lower side of the bottom F are attached flanges G, which project nearly to the bottom C.

The outer wallA iscontinned a little below the bottom G, and has a' bottom, H,attaehed to it to form. a chamber, I, to receive thev drip from the inner or ice-chamber J.

`As the ice melts, the drip ilows from the chamber J into the chamber I through the inclined pipe K. -If' desired, one or more pipes, K, may be used, connecting the ice-chamber J and drip-chamber I, not only to allow the drip to pass ofi freely, but also to allow air to pass from said ice-chamber J to said drip-chamber l', when emptying out the drip` The drip is emptied out-through the tube L, extending up along the rear side of the pitcher and terminating beneath the handle-M, as shown in the ligure..

N is a tube leading from the lower part ofthe chamber O'to the spout l), near the uppeil part 'of the. pitcher. A

rlhe chamber 0 contains theliquid to becooled, which liquid is both put into'and withdrawn from said chamber O through the spout P and tube N.

To enable the chamber O to be conveniently lled through the spout P and tube N, air-ho1es,o, must be formed, leading into the upper part of the said chamber' O, to allow the air within said chamber to escape, when the liquid rises in said chamber above the mouth of the tube N, which said tube extends nearly to the bottom of the chamber O, so thatthe coldest part of the liquid may always be drawn ofi" first v A lhe particular place`n which the 'air-holes o are y formed is immaterial, but I prefer to make them just Y above the spout P and beneath the cap of said spout, as being more out of the way, and not disiiguring the pitcher.'

Having-thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-

An improved coolin -pitcher formed by the combiv natiouof the double wa lsAB, interior wall D, hanged' bottom F G, bottoms O H- pipe or pipes K, tube L,- tube N, spout P, and aroles o', with each other, said parts being constructed, arranged, and operating 'substantially as herein shownv and described, and for the purpose set forth. p

The above specification of Amy invention signed by me, this 16th day of February, 1869.-
